Now that I have an organized pantry and can find everything I am looking for without struggle I decided to make good use of it and bake something tonight. I looked over recipes and pulled a few that I knew I had all the ingredients for (or so I thought).

The two that I narrowed it down to were Crackle Spice Drops and Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies. What tipped the scales in the Spice Drop's favor was that while I had cream cheese I didn't want to use it all and forgo a bagel for breakfast tomorrow. So it was settled; Crackle Spice Drops it is and folks, they are super easy to make-I promise! It turns out that I didn't have powdered sugar or pumpkin pie spice but I was quick on my feet (with a little reassurance from mom) and improvised.

In a mixing bowl, on medium speed, beat margarine with the brown sugar until it is creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice (or multiple spices).
